Description:

A cat stands on its hind legs on the top of a roof, holding a bullet in its paw as a man at a window yells behind it. The full verse below the illustration goes as follows:

Yes, with a gun she was shot,
And a trigger it had got,
I saw the man pull it;
But Pussy held up her paws like the Wizard of the North, and before you could count, One, Two, Three, caught the Bullet.
